HoliSurf High Foam, Sophorolipids, 100 ml

Sophorolipids are natural biosurfactants produced by natural fermentation from renewable, non-GMO raw materials. They are surface-active substances of the glycolipid type, belonging to the same group as rhamnolipids or other microbial glycolipids, which are currently considered the most sustainable alternative to conventional surfactants. For the production of HoliSurf® HF, local manufacturing in the UK and a low-carbon production process are used. 

The HF (“High Foam”) form contains a high proportion of acidic sophorolipids, which provide excellent foaming, cleansing performance and exceptional mildness in formulations. The product is microbiome-friendly, vegan, COSMOS certifiable, highly biodegradable and also suitable for sensitive or problematic skin.
